While Tate can still clear waivers and sign to the practice squad, it seems highly unlikely he’ll go unclaimed given the big-play ability he flashed throughout the preseason.

For Browns fans who want the Browns to add size, Tate is a dream come true. The seventh-round pick from Florida State is 6-5, 228 pounds and can make the difficult catch away from his body. He’s slow even for supersized receivers; Tate’s 4.68 40-yard dash time was actually faster than those of us at the NFL Scouting Combine expected he’d run based on his game film.

He caught 3 passes for 66 yards and a touchdown in the preseason. As Bengals Wire editor Chris Roling notes, Tate’s inability to contribute on special teams was the primary reason why he wasn’t getting any run in Cincinnati.
